Forms: see red adj. and n. and lead n.¹

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: red adj., lead n.¹

Etymology: < red adj. + lead n.¹ Compare post-classical Latin plumbum rubeum , plumbum rubrum (from 1277 in British sources). Compare white lead n.

1. A bright red, crystalline or amorphous oxide of lead, prepared esp. by heating lead monoxide (litharge) or carbonate in air and used (esp. formerly) as a pigment or paint; a pigment or paint containing or consisting of this oxide.Red lead is lead tetraoxide; Pb₃O₄. Also called minium or red minium (see minium n. 2). Toxic when ingested, red lead is now used chiefly in anti-corrosive paints for iron and steel and in various manufacturing processes, especially for glass and ceramics.
